Title: Cover arrangement for a load space of a goods vehicle body
Inventor: BODEN GEORGE ROBERT
IPC: B60J7/08
Filed: 2010-09-10
Abstract: A cover arrangement for a load space of a goods vehicle and a vehicle body incorporating such a cover are disclosed. The cover 14 comprises a flexible sheet, a roller 20 onto which the flexible sheet can be rolled to withdraw it from covering the load space, and a shield 32 disposed, in use, above the roller, the sheet extending beneath the shield and above an adjacent wall of the load space 10. The shield may have a convex cross-section, such that it partially surrounds the roller and acts to deflect falling material towards the load space. A subsidiary guard may be disposed between the shield and load space, the sheet passing between the shield and subsidiary guard. The subsidiary guard may be angled down towards the rear of the body, and may have an upper edge that is located forward of and below a lower edge of the shield. The shield serves to protect the flexible sheet and roller when the load space is being loaded, and also deflects the falling load away from the vehicle cab.

Title: Extension carriers having synchronisation signals with configurable locations
Inventor: AWAD YASSIN ADEN
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2011-11-07
Abstract: In a communication system each base station is configured to provide synchronisation signals in each radio frame of both a primary (backwards compatible) component carrier (CC) and a secondary (extension) component carrier. The location of the synchronisation signals in the radio frame of the primary (backwards compatible) component carrier are fixed whilst for the secondary (extension) component carrier the location is configurable. The configurable location of synchronisation signals allows neighbouring base stations and base stations whose cells share a common geographic area and/or frequency band to avoid inter-cell interference. In one embodiment, the relative positions of Primary and Secondary Synchronisation Signals (PSS/SSS) may also be swapped compared to the positions used for the primary component carrier. The configurable location used for the signals is communicated to a mobile communication device and may take the form of an index from which the location can be derived. The index may be based on cell identity (ID).

Patent GB-2508035-A (GB)
Title: Cleaning appliance
Inventor: WILSON HUGO GEORGE
IPC: A47L5/24
Filed: 2012-11-20
Abstract: A cleaning appliance comprises a main body (4, fig 1) and a separating apparatus (12, fig 1) including a dirt collector 24 having a base 26 that is openable to allow the dirt collector 24 to be emptied. The cleaning appliance includes an actuator 98 that is operable sequentially such that, during a first operation, the actuator 98 causes the base 26 to be opened and, during a second operation, the actuator 98 causes the dirt collector 24 to disengage from the separating apparatus (12, fig 1). A single actuator 98 is therefore used for two functions: firstly to open the dirt collector 24 for emptying purposes and, secondly, to disengage the dirt collector 24 from the separating apparatus (12, fig 1) for cleaning purposes. Such an arrangement is space efficient and intuitive for the user. The base 26 of the dirt collector 24 may be openable when the separating apparatus (12, fig 1) is coupled to the main body (4, fig 1) or alternatively the base 26 is only openable when the separating apparatus(12, fig 1) is decoupled from the main body (4, fig 1).

Filed: 2012-12-14
Abstract: A method comprising: maintaining 300 a local database of trusted Uniform Resource Locators (URL) where an URL is qualified to said database based on fulfilling predetermined criteria; detecting 304 a request to access a uniform resource locator (URL); obtaining 306, 308 reputation data for the URL from a reputation server or from a local reputation scanner; comparing310 the obtained reputation data of the requested URL with the reputation data of the requested URL that is stored in the local database of trusted URLs if any; if there is a conflict between the reputation data obtained and the reputation data stored in the local database of trusted URLs, using 312 the reputation data stored in the local database of trusted URLs to determine whether access to the URL is allowed. A URL may be qualified to the local database of trusted URLs based on detection of frequent visits to the URL, reputation of the URL being previously rated as safe or having no suspicious elements according to predefined criteria detected. An override flag may also be used and the reputation obtained from the reputation server or local scanner may be used instead of the reputation in the local database. A report 318 may also be made to the reputation server when a URL is identified as being a false positive when access to the URL is allowed after detecting conflict between the obtained reputation data and the reputation data stored in the local database.

Title: Organic light emitting diode display device and method for sensing pixel current therein
Inventor: LEE JI-EUN
IPC: G09G3/32
Filed: 2012-12-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device capable of operating in a driving mode and a sensing mode, the sensing mode senses a driving current of each pixel and compensates for a luminance deviation between pixels due to pixel deterioration that occurs after shipping the device. The OLED device includes a display panel comprising a plurality of pixels P1, P2 that share a reference line RLm through which a reference signal is supplied; each pixel is respectively connected to a data line DLn, DLn+1.

Title: Pump
Inventor: HUTTON DAVID
IPC: F04B33/00
Filed: 2013-02-04
Abstract: A hand operated water pump comprises an adjustable tensioner nut 46, to compress a piston seal 32 located between two plates or washers 42, 44. The tensioner comprises a spring such as coil spring 50 or rubber spacer 48. The spring 48, 50, makes the tensioner less sensitive, so that the piston seal can be replaced or adjusted by an unskilled user. The piston seal 32 may be replaced by a homemade one made from old inner tubes, other rubber products, or old flip flops (shoes, slippers). The piston seal tensioner nut 46 may be a wingnut, so that it can be adjusted by hand. The pump may use ball valves to reduce maintenance, and may have horizontal inlet and outlet connections to minimise kinks in hose pipes connected to the pump.
